The C-Crosser should be fairly light on the pocket once you’ve made the plunge. On average, it returned 29.2mpg on test, with a best of 39.6mpg. That gives a real-world touring range of about 385 miles. Officially, the manual C-Crosser is claimed to return 42.2mpg on the combined cycle, the automatic offering a claimed 40.9mpg.

Insurance isn’t cheap (group 37) but then you won’t get hammered by company car tax like you will with many other SUVs, thanks to the relatively low 175/km emissions rating in the manual car, which rises to 180g/km in the automatic. That means it sits in VED band H (manual) or I (auto).
